An award-winning teacher is alleged to have performed oral sex on a pupil twice in her classroom.

Randi Chaverria is accused of having sexual contact with the pupil during the school term and sending him explicit text messages.

The teacher, from Round Rock High School, Texas, resigned from her post amid the allegations.

Her alleged victim claims she performed oral sex on him in a classroom twice in October.

She was arrested and charged with conducting an improper relationship between educator and student.

Headteacher Matt Groff has said she is not allowed to return to the campus during the investigation.

Groff wrote that the teacher had “elected to take leave” before the report of the abuse was received.

He said: “[Chaverria] was immediately reported to the District’s Human Resources Department and law enforcement.”

She handed herself over to Williamson County Jail but has since been released on bond.

Groff added: “Ensuring a safe and secure learning environment requires partnership between students, parents, campus and district staff.”

The program saw high schoolers befriend younger students and purchase them gifts.

She is believed to have been a science teacher at the school.
